When the enchanted tree protecting Camp Half-Blood is poisoned, son of the gods Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman) and his demigod friends set off in search of the Sea of Monsters and a magical fleece that can restore the tree and their safety.
But Luke Castellan (Jake Abel) is determined to disrupt Percy's quest at any cost and taunts the boy with a prophecy that says a child of the eldest gods will save or destroy Olympus. Could that be Percy? Perhaps. But another contender enters the frame in Cyclops half-brother Tyson (Douglas Smith).
Percy Jackson proved a formidable franchise in 2010 when The Lightening Thief achieved box office success just as Harry Potter was heading for retirement. Now the wonder boy is back with a dazzling new adventure that kids will love.
Pure, super-charged fun, Sea of Monsters thickens the Percy plot with a prediction about the future of Olympus that will surely play out across subsequent sequels, building anticipation in a generation of young minds who would love to be Percy but will settle for watching him.
